My Research Journal:


Wednesday,March 31,2010- I really liked the http://www.colblindor.com/2007/02/27/can-dogs-see-colors/
website because that website has questions on the bottom that makes me want to ask these questions also.
However,that website doesn't have alot of information but i think that it will be enough for my research project.

Thursday,April 1,2010- I didn't research anything because i will do it on Friday!

Saturday,April 3,2010- My research is doing good so far. I'm looking for information about my topic and i cant make a glog because i forgot my user name and password.

Monday,April 5,2010-I've been researching for my topic on the websites that are links at this page and i found out lots of information.I found out that dogs don't see colors between: Red,Orange,Green,Greenish Blue And All Shades Of Purple.

Tuesday,April 6, 2010-I have a good time researching things but, i am not sure about my glogster password because every time i enter it,it says its wrong.

Friday,April 9,2010- The past two days i couldn't use the computer because my mom grounded me for the computer and she didn't let me on.Yesterday i started my glog, right now i am not really far, but there is some progress.

Final Written Report and Glog:

Can Dogs See In Color?

Have you ever wondered if dogs are color blind?

Well, dogs can only see different shades of brown, yellow, gray, light blue and dark blue.

Dogs’ and human’s eyes both have some special light catching cells that are called “cones”. With only 2 cones, the eyes still can see colors but not as many colors as normal people see. In this situation, dogs have 2 cones.

They can’t see as many colors. There is a strange fact, that most of the dog toys are either red or orange. However different shades of red may appear as brown, dark brown or even black to the dog. It is a not good choice to make when you buy green toys for your dog. It will be very hard for the dog to see, since green is in the middle of the color chart. It will appear as violet-ish, yellow color.

This is my inquiry project. I hope you found it interesting.

THE END~
